Abstract
The aim of this study is to systematize and apply the categories of German textbooks analysis in order to find out how intercultural communication competence is realized in textbooks, and to use said categories in the future to lay the foundation for developing German textbooks that focus on intercultural communication competence. For this purpose, two general German textbooks currently used in domestic universities were selected as textbooks for beginners. A survey was conducted focusing on a total of 100 students, 50 students respectively for each textbook with six detailed analysis criteria from the perspective of intercultural behavioral abilities. Through this survey, it was found that both textbooks are not related to learners’ acquisition of intercultural communication competence in terms of learning content and methods, but only deal with German regional information. In addition, many learners believe that the dialogue in the textbook is not practical. Therefore, it can be understood that since neither textbook was written with the aim of cultivating intercultural communication skills, it is not helpful for learners to eliminate intercultural prejudice or to develop international understanding and consideration.
